Chapter 2102: Expel

The villagers all walked out of their houses and stared at the extraordinary phenomenon in front of them. The divine light of the Great Path shone from the sky, and the Ancient Divine Nation manifested itself. Even though they were still inside the village, the village basking in the divine light seemed more unreal to them at this moment. It felt like they had always been living in an illusory world.

A lot of people whispered to each other, discussing the marvel in front of their eyes. Someone spoke out, “Did our ancestors and the ancient Gods create this miracle?”

Several top cultivators were ruminating. They had never seen such marvelous spectacle before. Did this mean that the two worlds would officially become one from now on?

“People from Four Corner Village are descendants of the Four Corner Divine Nation and have the blood of Gods running through our veins. Our ancestors have protected us for millions of years. Many people of every generation are endowed with talents for cultivation. It is all because we reside in a special place and are blessed by our ancestors. We can obtain cultivation opportunities on the Day of Sacrificial Rites every four years. Now, the relic of the Divine Nation manifested itself directly and became a real world. Does that mean that more and more villagers will gain awakenings in the future and everyone in the village will be able to cultivate?” an old man muttered quietly. He seemed to know a lot about the history of the village.

It was their fervent hope that their speculation was true. In that case, the Four Corner Village would become more prosperous and influential in the future.

Four Corner Village already had a splendid history and a rich heritage. After countless generations, most people had lost the ambition to revive their former glory. But some cultivators were not resigned yet. Not only did they want to leave the village themselves, but they were also eager to open Four Corner Village up to the world and gain a foothold in the Outer Realms.

The more knowledge they acquired, the stronger this desire grew.

The families that inherited the Divine Techniques were great examples. The Muyun family had already secured a place for themselves outside of the village. Muyun Lan was a well-respected son-in-law of the Nanhai family in the Upper Third Heaven of the Shangqing Domain in the Outer Realms.

“Let’s go ask the master,” someone suggested.

“That’s right. Let’s go to ask the master what is happening,” more people concurred. A large number of villagers started marching toward the private school right away. At this point, however, a voice rang out from the direction of the private school.

“There is no need to come. If this scene lasts, more people in Four Corner Village will discover their talents for cultivation. Even people who didn’t gain awakenings will be able to cultivate by themselves.”

The voice reverberated through the village and caused a commotion. A tumult of shouting and discussing broke out. The news came as a bombshell.

Nevertheless, some elders also worried that Four Corner Village might attract more attention. Should they let outsiders enter the village when the time came?

Everything would start over. Would this secluded village become a part of the Outer Realms in the future?

“Master, what happened? Did the spirit of our ancestors create this marvel?” someone faced the direction of the private school and asked.

“Kind of,” the master replied. Although it was not a definitive answer, many people were thrilled to hear his response. The ancestors manifested themselves and granted blessings upon Four Corner Village. From now on, everyone in the village would be able to cultivate.

In the past, only a small number of people in Four Corner Village could have the opportunities to cultivate. It had been a source of anguish for many people across the generations. They all experienced the same disappointment and resentment in their teenage years.

Their offsprings could finally be freed from this pain now.

Everyone in the village would be able to cultivate.

Not only the villagers who were currently in the village were astonished, but the people who entered the world of the Divine Nation were also surprised to find out that they had returned. Instead of coming out of the world of the Divine Nation, the two worlds merged into one, and they could see the rest of the villagers now.

“What on earth happened?”

All of them were astounded and couldn’t figure out what had happened. The glowing sky blanketed Four Corner Village, and the village was illuminated by the brilliant divine light after the two worlds merged.

Ye Futian was still standing next to the ancient tree. He quietly watched everything around him. Because he already knew the truth, he was the only one not taken aback by it.

Although Chen Yi and the others didn’t know the exact details, they were certain that it had something to do with Ye Futian. They were quite shocked as well.

“Uncle Ye, we’re back?” Tie Tou asked.

“Yes,” Ye Futian nodded.

At this moment, a blind man walked toward them and shouted, “Tie Tou.”

“Dad.” Tie Tou turned around and saw Blind Tie. He said excitedly, “Dad, I did it!”

“Good,” Blind Tie nodded.

“By the way, Uncle Ye helped me when Muyun Shu that *sshole wanted to attack me,” said Tie Tou. Even though Blind Tie couldn’t see, he seemed to know where Ye Futian stood. He faced him and said, “Thank you a lot.”

“It’s not a big deal,” Ye Futian replied casually.

“We’re back?” Little Ling only realized what happened now. Then, she cracked a silly smile and greeted Blind Tie, “Uncle Tie.”

“Little Ling,” Blind Tie nodded at Little Ling. Other villagers were also welcoming their family members. People from the Muyun family walked in the direction of Muyun Shu. Since Muyun Shu was still experiencing his awakening, they stopped and watched him intently. They had high hopes for him.

Old Ma came staggering up the street. He said with a smile, “Little Ling.”

“Grandpa.” Little Ling ran to Old Ma, who grinned and rubbed her head, said, “Not bad.”

Little Ling didn’t quite understand what Old Ma meant, but she didn’t ask either.

Ye Futian was intrigued by Old Ma’s arrival. He already knew that Blind Tie used to cultivate. But how did Old Ma hobble all the way here so quickly?

“Little Tie, you have a successor now. Congratulations,” Old Ma said to Blind Tie.

“Uncle Ma, this boy is still young.” Despite his answer, Blind Tie couldn’t hide the joy on his face.

“You need to work harder too,” Old Ma rubbed Little Ling’s head and said,

“Me?” Little Ling looked up at Old Ma with confusion and grumbled. She couldn’t cultivate at all and couldn’t see any extraordinary phenomenon in the world of the Divine Nation. She still didn’t understand her grandpa’s words.

“Listen to your Uncle Ye and learn from him,” Old Ma added. Little Ling nodded again cluelessly.

A surprised look came over Ye Futian’s face. He stared at Old Ma and wondered if he misjudged him. Was this seemingly ordinary old man not what he appeared to be either?

If not, how to explain what he just said?

Ye Futian vaguely sensed that Old Ma knew something as well. Otherwise, what did he mean when he asked Little Ling to learn from Ye Futian?

“Let’s go. We can chat more when we’re back,” said Ye Futian. The Divine Nation’s world was now permanently integrated with Four Corner Village, rather than appearing every four years. It meant that nothing here would disappear again, and they didn’t need to rush for cultivation opportunities anymore.

“Alright.” Old Ma nodded and said to Blind Tie, “Do you want to have a chat at my place?”

“Okay,” Blind Tie nodded and answered. Then, they began to walk to Old Ma’s house. Four Corner Village remained after being merged with the world of the Divine Nation, but everything felt different under the glowing sky. Although Four Corner Village was merged with the world of the Divine Nation, the village still existed.

Old Ma took out a bottle of wine after they sat down in the yard. He said, “Old Wang brewed this many years ago. It’s been a long time since he passed away, and I didn’t want to drink such precious wine. I’m gratified to see the change in the village today. It’s a good time to enjoy this.”

He poured a couple of glasses for Blind Tie, Ye Futian, and the others, then sat down and said, “Everyone in the village will be able to cultivate from now on. More and more excellent cultivators will emerge. How exciting it is.”

“Old Ma, I’ll drink one with you.” Blind Tie raised his glass to Old Ma. He knew that Old Ma was missing his son. As happy as he was, he couldn’t help feeling sad at the same time.

“Good.” Old Ma nodded and clinked his glass on Ye Futian’s too. He smiled and said, “If only this happened a few decades earlier.”

“It’s all in the past now. Don’t think too much about it,” Blind Tie said.

“You’re right,” Old Ma smiled and shook his head. Little Ling was romping around with Tie Tou and said no idea what the grownups were talking about.

Ye Futian, on the other hand, listened to their conversation carefully. He now realized that Old Ma was not a simple man either.

Other villagers also figured out that the relic seemed to be permanent this time. The initial astonishment slowly passed, and many of them returned home. They had plenty of time in the future to explore.

While Old Ma and the others were drinking, they were interrupted by a commotion outside. A group of people came into sight outside of the yard. One person said, “Old Ma, excuse us.”

Then, they walked directly into the yard and surveyed Ye Futian and his friends with cold eyes. The head of the group seemed to be in his 40s. His stately manner lent him an intimidating presence. Little Ling and Tie Tou were both nervous, while Little Ling was terrified.

It was because they noticed Muyun Shu standing next to the middle-aged man. Apparently, these people came because of them.

Muyun Shu stared at Ye Futian, his eyes gleaming. He gained another awakening and brought some members of the Muyun family here after he went back home. The middle-aged man was his father and the head of the Muyun family—Muyun Long.

“Get out of the village yourselves, and I will let this go,” Muyun Long said in an arrogant and domineering tone.

Ye Futian and his friends certainly understood who Muyun Long was talking to. He wanted to kick them out of Four Corner Village.

Old Ma and Blind Tie put down their wine glasses with a grim expression on their faces. Old Ma was especially displeased. They came to his house and tried to expel his guests!
